5.2.3 PPPoE
PPPoE: Stands for Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet
A st andard b uilds on Eth ernet an d Point-to-Poi nt network p rotocol. It allows Internet ca mera
connect to Internet with xDSL or cable connection; it can dial up your ISP and get a dynamic IP
address. For more PPPoE and Internet configuration, please consult your ISP.
It can directly connect to the xDSL, however, it should be setup on a LAN environment to program
the PPPoE information first, and then connect to the xDSL modem. Power on again, then the
device will dial on to the ISP connect to the WAN through the xDSL modem.
The procedures are:
(1) Select “Enabled” to use PPPoE.
(2) Key-in Username and password for the ADSL connection.
(3) Send mail after dialed：When connect to the Internet, it will send a mail to a specific mail

feature. However, if y our device is behind a NAT router, y ou will not need to enable this feature.
Because DDNS allows the device to use an easier way to remember naming format rather than an
IP address. The name of the domain i s like the name of a person, and the IP addre ss is like his
phone number. On the Internet we h ave IP numbers for each host (computer, server, router, and
so on), and we replace these IP numbers to easy remember names, which are organized into the
domain name. As to xDSL environment, most of the users will use dynamic IP addresses. If users
want to set up a web or a FTP serve r, then the Dynamic Domain Name Server is necessary. For
more DDNS configuration, please consult your dealer.
Your Intern et Service Pro vider (ISP) p rovides you at least one IP addre ss which you u se to
